Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
Chapter 184: Visit in Person

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Visit in Person

It’s not just Dou Dou trying to fly with Sun Meiqi.

Duoduo also tried to fly with her Sister Yaoyao, but clearly failed as well.

However, after her failure, she didn’t directly seek help from Shen Siyuan.

Because she knew which bus to take to find her Banner Master brother.

Naturally, it was the familiar Route 6 bus, after all, that was where she had met Shen Siyuan before and then went home with him.

Thus, Duoduo, holding onto Yu Leye, boarded the Route 6 bus and headed in Shen Siyuan’s direction.

On the other side, Xiao Yue was curious about the secret Grandpa Liu couldn’t let Grandma Huang know, and was pressing him for information.

"It’s adult matters after all, children should stay out of it."

But no matter how much she pressed, Grandpa Liu would not budge.

"When will you take me to see my brother?"

"Wait a bit, let’s see if Grandma Huang has any other matters to attend to; if she hasn’t, I’ll run the errand with you, I want to meet Mr. Shen as well."

In fact, Grandpa Liu didn’t care that much about the matter, and it wasn’t his wish either; he simply wanted to help Xiao Yue accomplish her task.

After all, he was no ordinary ghost, and Lady Huang was no ordinary person; they could solve many problems on their own.

Xiao Yue wanted to say more but was interrupted by Grandpa Liu: "The task Mr. Shen gave you last time, we didn’t complete it, did Mr. Shen scold you?"

Xiao Yue shook her head: "Brother said he could find it himself."

"Not a word of criticism?" Grandpa Liu was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

Xiao Yue shook her head again.

Grandpa Liu said with emotion: "Mr. Shen is really a good person. You’re fortunate to have met him."

Xiao Yue nodded in agreement.

"Work well under Mr. Shen, in the future Mr. Shen will... be extraordinary..."

Grandpa Liu couldn’t say for sure about the future, but Mr. Shen was the most impressive person he had seen at his age.

He had followed Lady Huang for many years and had seen quite a few practitioners, but none were like Shen Siyuan.

"Xiao Yue, I’m sorry."

"Why apologize?" Xiao Yue was puzzled.

"Earlier I boasted that I could definitely help you find the person, but in the end, we didn’t find them, isn’t that a bit ineffectual?" said Grandpa Liu.

Xiao Yue nodded.

"Wow, so direct? Won’t you comfort me a bit?" Grandpa Liu exaggerated.

Always with a stern face and seldom smiling, Xiao Yue was finally amused into laughter by him.

Grandpa Liu was quite fond of Xiao Yue, treating her entirely like his own granddaughter.

The two were chatting in the back hall, but a group of people had arrived in the front hall.

"Is Lady Huang at home?" A gentle female voice came from outside the courtyard.

Mei, who was taking care of the plants in the courtyard, stood up.

"Who might you be?"

"We’re from Xiajing, and we’d like to visit Lady Huang, is she at home?"

Song Meixian smiled as she sized up Huang Lancai, thinking that this must be the Inheritor of this generation.

Huang Lancai was also sizing up Song Meixian, shocked by the other woman’s appearance and demeanor. How could a woman be this beautiful? As a woman herself, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

"Granny is home, I’ll go and let her know," said Huang Lancai.

"No need."

Unbeknownst to them, Lady Huang had already walked out from inside the house.

"Miss Song, it’s been many years since we last met. I hear that you’ve been promoted to team leader," Lady Huang greeted with a smile.

Then she instructed Huang Lancai to open the door as she herself went to meet them.

Huang Lancai was curious as to who these people were that made Lady Huang treat them so seriously.

"It’s been almost ten years," Song Meixian said with a smile.

"Back then, you were just a young girl, and now you are capable of standing on your own," Lady Huang remarked with some emotion.

Lady Huang’s abilities among the Inheritors were not strong; at most, she could consult with spirits, but she herself was from the Qionghai Li Clan, which held extremely high prestige within the Li Clan.

Thus, her position was very special. She had also attended several meetings in Xiajing, and it was then that she met Song Meixian. However, at that time, Song Meixian was still a naive young girl, nowhere near as mature as she is now.

"But Lady Huang still appears to be in good health."

"Not anymore; I’m old now," Lady Huang said with a smile as she welcomed the group inside.

The three entered the house and first bowed to the "Pao Longkou" on the altar.

Respecting the beliefs of others is one of the principles of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Then they introduced the rest of the party to Lady Huang.

Lady Huang was also very polite and made acquaintances with each of them.

Wan Xinghui and Zhong Xiaonan also exchanged pleasantries respectfully.

Lady Huang then invited everyone to sit down and asked Huang Lancai to serve tea, pulling her to sit by her side.

"This is my granddaughter Huang Lancai; I’m hoping you will take good care of her in the future," said Lady Huang.

Naturally, Song Meixian and the others returned the pleasantries.

Though Huang Lancai didn’t know who these individuals were, she still sat beside them with a smile, quietly listening to their conversation.

After another round of pleasantries, Lady Huang said with a smile, "I guessed you would come."

It was no surprise to Song Meixian and the others that Lady Huang expected their arrival.

If they had not come after such a major event in Bin Hai, that would have been surprising.

"Does Lady Huang know anything?" Song Meixian asked with a smile.

Lady Huang shook her head and said, "Such capable people are beyond what I can know."

Song Meixian was not disappointed by the response, and she went straight to the point: "I came here not only to visit you but also to inquire about someone."

"I knew it; people don’t visit without good reason," Lady Huang said, inviting them to drink tea.

Then she continued, "Whomever you wish to inquire about, I will share what I know."

Actually, Lady Huang seemingly already had a guess about who they were inquiring after. People like them were rare, and there was only one new individual in Bin Hai recently, so it wasn’t hard for her to guess.

"Do you know a young man named Shen Siyuan, Lady Huang?" asked Song Meixian.

Upon hearing this, Lady Huang continued to drink her tea calmly, but her granddaughter Huang Lancai showed a look of surprise at that moment.

This brief expression was caught by Song Meixian and the others, who immediately understood that Lady Huang must know him.

Lady Huang set down her teacup with a smile and said, "My silly girl is very naive; she can’t keep anything secret, not even her emotions."

Huang Lancai, aware that her reaction had been noticed by the people opposite her, showed a bashful expression.

"Being a little naive is good; it’s not good for people to be too complicated."

Song Meixian looked at Lady Huang, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Since the conversation had come this far, Lady Huang had no choice but to speak.

"I’ve only met him once; he’s a very kind and capable young..."

Before Lady Huang could finish, her gaze suddenly shifted toward a corner of the hall, and her expression became slightly embarrassed.

Song Meixian and the others noticed and turned to look, whereupon they saw a young girl standing in the corner.

She looked coldly at everyone with a chain coiling around her body, while a strange insect sat on her shoulder, emitting an intermittently bright and dim light.
